It was good to finally meet Brad and Bud. As Brad said they stopped by
while I had a bunch of people in the house so they didn't stay long. Bud's
TR6 is really nice, I hope I get my interior done that nicely some day. We
traded a few stories and listened to each others cars. Unfortunately it
was dark so we had to use flash lights to look at Bud's engine. I might
share the GT6 with my daughter a little, but she has a ways to go before
she can reach the pedals and see over the stering wheel at the same time.
